the small print

the small print
tells you everything
you don't want to
know and they don't
want to tell you.
so they whisper
it in tiny letters,
hardly readable
with a light or
good eyes.
the small print
is everywhere.
it's on the back of
a perscription
bottle, on a contract
for a house, a car,
a can of food.
the small print will
save your life,
or take it, if
only you could read
what it says.
